Does flash work in trunk? 3.5.9? With what version? There are lots of variables here. I want a nice table to help developers in the quest to make annoying software work. Since most of the bug reports we get on this seem to be somewhat useless, and hard to collate, I made this page.

about:plugins in the urlbar will tell you what flash version you have

<b>Reproducibility is what we are looking for here, backtraces aren't as useful, apparently. Unless you use them to find out if they are misusing gtk. (add link)</b> Eventually we can perhaps just link to this webpage from bugreports, as we'll have a nice matrix of what versions work, right?

Please fill in the below table, and go through a few sites if you have the time. The last ones aren't as important. I just want to know if they work for you or not.

Indeed I did! flash 9.0.115 on a 32bit compiled system

I ([[User:mutlu_inek|mutlu_inek]]) can use flash. It works with a few errors (see test cases below) <s>and reliable crashes of nspluginviewer, not Konqui, every time I browse away from a site using flash. The Nspluginviewer does automatically restart, though, so no grave problem.</s> I am using self-compiled trunk, rev. <s>798847</s> <s>799237</s> <s>800877</s> 804277, and adobe's flashplugin 9.0.124 on Arch Linux, 32 bit.

[[User:Blauzahl|Blauzahl]] - Sad. It doesn't all display. I get gray boxes. I swear this site worked fine for me the last time we did BugDay. I also get the ad expansion blanking the underlying text. [http://pobox.com/~zahl/kde/canal.pathalogical.png screenshot]

if you have multiple tabs open, and then hover over the dog ad, then close that tab, does it crash?

I (mutlu_inek) can use flash. It works with a few errors (see test cases below) and reliable crashes of nspluginviewer, not Konqui, every time I browse away from a site using flash. The Nspluginviewer does automatically restart, though, so no grave problem. I am using self-compiled trunk, rev. 798847799237800877 804277, and adobe's flashplugin 9.0.124 on Arch Linux, 32 bit.

The nsplugin crashes have been fixed in trunk, I am running rev. 804277 (mutlu_inek).

Flash boxes that resize themselves are not displayed correctly, they claim the space they use when they are full-sized by displaying a white box over the other flash content. The same issue with Firefox. Appears to have nothing to do with Konqui.

The video player flash box has a black background that is larger than the video player box. The same issue with Firefox. Appears to have nothing to do with Konqui.

Nspluginviewer crashes when browsing away from the site.

hays - Works for me, no crashing. Looks like Firefox. Rendering looks similar if not the same. KDE 4.0.4/Flash 9.0.124.0/AMD64/Gentoo

Full-Screen View does not work. The view is enlarged only within the regular google map box (it does not take over the search results space on the left as in Firefox). Also, the street scene becomes gray and nothing will get the functionality back (not even returning from full-screen view). To be able to use street view again, the street view window has to be closed and a new one opened.

Moving the map that underlies the street view moves the street view popup since it is fixed to the location on the map that was searched for [This is correct behavior]. When the street view popup leaves the frame of the regular map view in Firefox, it is _below_ the search results and address bar parts of the website. In Konqueror, however, the street view (without the popup's frame) overlays the rest of the website. See: screenshot

Nspluginviewer crashes when browsing away from the site and when closing a street view popup.
